Greenbriar Cemetery is in Perry County, not far from the county line. It's directly south of the Pyramid Park (the old part on Pyatt's blacktop). We usually take Prairie Dog Rd off Pyatt's blacktop, it's a small rock road between two lakes, follow it out to the end and jog to the left on Wolf Road, not sure of the name of the road, don't go as far as Chipmunk. It's about an eighth to a quarter of a mile on the right. The sign is gone, but you can see it in a stand of trees, there is a really bad path through a field you can drive it in good weather. Located approximately in the SE quarter of T6S R3W of this area.
A cousin, brother and I are working on getting a tall stone reset and restored.
The entries in red are from the county cemetery list, Burt, Samuel - I thought was the same person as Burr, Samuel listed above him, but it may be two different people. There are many stones out there that are just sandstone stubs sticking up out of the ground. We have dug up at least a dozen that had fallen face first into the ground and been covered over. Someone took a brushhog thru there a couple years ago to cut the weeds, they also destroyed stones in doing so. I think the company doing the restoration is going to try to get us help from the boy scouts, or some such group to clean it up if we can. Peg |
